The Mayor of Tweed Shire, Cr. Gary Bagnall
Tweed Shire is a local government area located in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia.
Gary and wife, Linley, have operated the New Leaf vegetarian restaurant in Main Street for 12 years. Linley has been a vegetarian all her life, and Gary for the last 35 years. The couple’s sons, William, 17, and James, 13, were both raised as vegetarians, and count many young devotees among their circle of friends.
Eight years ago, Gary requested devotees travelling to India to bring back Deitis for the restaurant, along with ‘costumes’. Sri Sri Gaura Nitai appeared, and the daily offrings began.
